The US has informed Israel of its intention to withdraw all its military aircraft from Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv if an agreement with Iran is signed, according to a report.
“The US fleet will be evacuated within 72 hours to bases in Europe, and the aircraft will be placed on standby to return to Ben Gurion Airport if fighting with Iran resumes,” Israel’s Channel 12 reported on Wednesday.
No official comment has been issued by Israeli or US authorities regarding the report.
However, Israeli civilian airlines have recently complained about the large number of US military aircraft at the airport.
In recent weeks, Israeli media published images of dozens of US military refuelling aircraft at Ben Gurion Airport.
